Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy has many causes — diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune, idiopathic — but the symptomatic experience overlaps. TCM reads most cases as channel obstruction with underlying Qi and Blood deficiency reaching the extremities. Treatment aims to improve circulation and nerve function; results are typically gradual.

Local acupuncture at the hands or feet, distal points on the affected channels, and herbal formulas to support circulation form most treatment plans. For diabetic and chemotherapy-induced neuropathy we coordinate with medical care. Patients typically commit to a longer arc — 3+ months — before assessing overall response.
